Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of the life and work of the pop-culture icon who gently encouraged millions to explore their creativity. Known for incorporating “happy little” clouds, mountains, and trees in paintings he would create in just twenty-six television minutes, Bob Ross had an encouraging and soothing demeanor that made his instructional television shows the most recognized and watched in television history. Ross created nearly 30,000 paintings in his lifetime, most using the wet-on-wet method employed by Caravaggio, Cézanne, and Monet. This fully authorized collection of more than 300 pieces of his art features his most famous quotes about painting and life, including “And success with painting leads to success with many things. It carries over into every part of your life” as well as techniques that will inspire readers to create their own art. Originally airing in 1982 on PBS in the United States and various outlets throughout Canada, Latin America, and Europe, the more than 400 episodes of Bob Ross’s two series, The Joy of Painting and Beauty Is Everywhere are now available on YouTube and Netflix. He is a figure beloved by multiple generations and is seen as an icon rivaling, if not surpassing, any other modern-day painter in terms of the scope of his work, societal influence, and popularity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbook of Kugler Signor Morelli's work caused a profound sensation especially in Germany, Where the study of Art is pursued with greater ardour, and upon more scientific principles, than in any other country. The novelty of his opinions, his method of analysis, and the unsparing way in which he destroyed the reputation of many famous pictures, and exposed the falsity of many time-honoured traditions in the history of painting, raised, at first, a storm of protests. But his Views have now, for the most part, been accepted, and have even led to extensive changes in the naming and classing of pictures in the principal German galleries; whilst in England and elsewhere his method of investigation has been approved and adopted by the ablest writers on Art. In his own country he has founded a school of criticism, and has had many distinguished followers.2i. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 2 of 2: The Italian Schools; Based on the Handbook of Kugler The founder, in some measure and in an inferior sense, of this school, was Francesco Squarcione, 1394-1474. This artist was born and bred to the calling of an embroiderer one of no small importance at that period, and closely allied to the practice of art. He is stated to have travelled in Italy and Greece and to have collected specimens and made drawings from objects of ancient art. On his return to Padua he started a school richly furnished with such models, which soon became largely frequented. At the same time he seems to have had but small ability himself as a painter, but to have officiated rather as undertaking, by means of his staff of pupils and workmen, to execute commissions of various kinds, ranging from designs for altar-cloths and tarsz'a, to the grand works of the Eremitani Chapel. It is difficult to identify any certain work existing by Squarcione, though his name is liberally given to productions of peculiar un attractiveness. An altar-piece in the Paduan Gallery, and a Virgin and Child in the Casa Lazzara, are both assigned to him. The latter is signed Opus Squarcioni pictoris. These two show a dissimilarity only to be reconciled by sup posing one or both to be the work of a scholar - the master's name being attached to whatever issued from his school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the History of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Age of Constantine the Great to the Present Time It is the Author's wish to supply, by means of the present Hand-Book, a want which he himself sensibly experienced when he first endeavoured to acquire a general knowledge of the early history and progress of the Art of Painting. He found no short and easily-intelligible guide, pointing out to the unlearned the leading styles of Art, and serving as an introduction to the researches of our most recent writers. The book now submitted to the indulgence of the connoisseur first consisted only of notes compiled for private study; these were augmented and corrected by the inspection of the most important specimens of Art, and the whole was finally arranged with a due regard to chronological order. The work makes no pretension to originality; its sole object, as already stated, is, to form an introduction to the more valuable productions in the literature of Art. The Author only hopes he may have succeeded in fulfilling the most obvious requisites for this end. His work is therefore strictly to be considered as a compilation.

Download or read book Handbook of Painting Vol 1 of 2 written by Franz Kugler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 1 of 2: German, Flemish, and Dutch Schools Thirteen years have elapsed Dr. Waagen wrote the new edition of 'Kugler,' of which the present is a revised and corrected impression. Dr. Waagen at that time explained his reasons for rejecting a great part of Kugler's work, stating that he had enlarged the text in respect of the later Dutch and Flemish schools, and extended his critical notices to artists who were at once painters and engravers. A minute account of the sources open to the historical inquirer in relation to art in Germany and the Low Countries concluded this portion of the learned Doctor's preface. Art criticism has done a great deal since 1860 to increase our knowledge of the lives of painters, and much that was then acceptable as historical and true is now looked upon as fabulous or doubtful. I may venture to affirm that no one at the present day would attempt to class Dierick Bouts, or Cristus, or Justus amongst the pupils of Hubert van Eyck; nor would it occur to any person to admit the existence of Roger vander Weyden the younger, or to acknowledge as productions of the last Holbein such works as are found to date before 1515. This classification and these statements we find in Dr. Waagen's text; and in citing them as proofs of the necessity for revising that text, I do not by any means exhaust the subject. An attentive reader will observe that I discard Dr. Waagen's theory of a Teutonic School, whilst I endeavour to throw new light on the origin of painting in the Netherlands. The influence of sculpture-tinting is prominently brought forward; and examples are given of early art on walls and portable shrines.

Download or read book Landscape Painting written by Mitchell Albala and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Painting, Vol. 2 of 2: German, Flemish, and Dutch Schools Harmony of colour - was seen for the first time developed in the utmost perfection, while the other great qualities of general keeping, Chiaroscuro, and that treatment of the brush - not lost, as formerly, in a fused surface, but employed for purposes of modelling - found ready response in their art-sympathies. As regards the class of subjects also available for the treatment of art a proportionable change had taken place. To the Van Eycks and their school the deep religious feeling of their time had chie y appealed for expression, and only occasionally did other subjects find admittance into the atelier. Now in all countries which had adopted the Reformation in its stricter forms - such as Holland, Switzerland, and parts of Germany - the Church had entirely abolished the services of art. In Catholic lands, it is true, a new religious impulse had found birth towards the close of the sixteenth and in the first half of the seventeenth century, but even there the invention of printing had robbed the artist of what in the middle ages had been his most important function, that of imparting instruction to the laity. Endowed, however, as art was by that time with all the powers of representation, she still sought to devote herself to the glorification of religion. On the other hand, 'in the more general diffusion of knowledge, other classes of sub jects, such as mythology and profane history, etc., could no longer be excluded from the painter's mind; thus the very power to devote himself solely to the contemplation of religious themes became sensibly diminished. A large por tion of his interest, therefore, was absorbed by the forms of representation which then obtained favour with the world, and especially by those far-fetched allegorical scenes which sought to embody, in a cold and artificial form, the learn ing of the day. In Belgium even, which had remained Catholic, many painters devoted themselves to subject and landscape painting. At the same time these branches of art, including the study of animals and owers, played at all times a subordinate part in that country, and the smal number of painters who cultivated them belong especially to the earlier division of this period. It was in Protestant Holland that not only these forms of art found their full. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
